AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE POCATELLO ID
258 AM MST SUN NOV 13 2011

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY. A STRONG NORTHWEST FLOW
PATTERN WILL CONTINUE ACROSS OUR PART OF THE COUNTRY. AN AREA OF
LIGHT SNOW CONTINUES TO QUICKLY SHIFT SOUTHEAST THIS
MORNING...EVEN FASTER THAN WHAT THE MODEL FORECASTS ARE
INDICATING. THE BULK OF THE SNOW WILL BE CONFINED TO THE EASTERN
AND SOUTHEASTERN MOUNTAINS TODAY WITH ANOTHER 1-2 INCHES OF SNOW
POSSIBLE ON TOP OF WHAT HAS FALLEN ALREADY OVERNIGHT.
ELSEWHERE...THERE WILL BE SOME LINGERING POCKETS OF LIGHT SNOW DUE
MAINLY AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS WITH LITTLE OR NO ACCUMULATION. THE
BIGGEST IMPACT TODAY WILL BE THE WINDS. WHILE THEY WILL BE LOWER
TODAY ACROSS THE BOARD...WINDY CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN A PROBLEM
ESPECIALLY ON RIDGETOPS ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE SNAKE PLAIN AND
SOUTHERN MOUNTAINS. MANY AREAS WILL SEE 15-30 MPH SUSTAINED WITH
HIGHER GUSTS. ACROSS THE SNAKE PLAIN INTO THE SOUTHERN
MOUNTAINS...SUSTAINED WINDS IN EXCESS OF 30 MPH ARE FORECAST WITH
GUSTS UP TO 45 MPH. WE ARE ISSUING A WIND ADVISORY FOR THESE AREAS
FOR THE AFTERNOON HOURS. WITH THESE WINDS...WE ARE ALSO EXPECTING
SOME POCKETS OF BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW IN THE MOUNTAINS BUT ARE
NOT ANTICIPATING ISSUING A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR THAT.

WITH THE PATTERN CONTINUING...EXPECT IT TO BE BREEZY THROUGH
TUESDAY WITH SOME CHANCE OF RAIN AND SNOW. HIGHER AMOUNTS WILL
FALL ACROSS THE WESTERN RANGES OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AND IN THE
EASTERN MOUNTAINS. IT APPEARS MONDAY WILL BE A BIT DRIER WITH NO
RAIN OR SNOW FALL FORECAST ACROSS THE SNAKE PLAIN AND SOUTHERN
HIGHLANDS. A LITTLE BETTER SURGE OF MOISTURE WILL MEAN AN
INCREASED CHANCE OF RAIN AND SNOW ON TUESDAY FOR ALL AREAS.
TEMPERATURES WILL NOT CHANGE VERY MUCH WITH HIGHS IN THE 30S AND
40S AT LOWER ELEVATIONS AND 20S IN THE MOUNTAINS. KEYES

.LONG TERM...TUE NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY. NW FLOW ALOFT WILL GRADUALLY
TRANSITION TO ZONAL FLOW BY THU MORNING IN RESPONSE TO A DIGGING
UPPER TROF OVER THE GULF OF AK. SNOW SHOWERS CAN BE EXPECTED TUE
NIGHT THRU WED NIGHT MAINLY OVER THE CEN MTNS AND EASTERN HIGHLANDS
DUE TO THE NW FLOW INTERACTING WITH TERRAIN. PRECIP AMOUNTS WILL BE
LIGHT. A MINOR WAVE IN THE ZONAL FLOW ON THU WILL INCREASE PRECIP
CHANCES ACROSS THE FCST AREA...BUT AGAIN PRECIP SHOULD BE LIGHT.

AS THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM MOVES INTO THE PAC NW ON FRI...THE UPPER
FLOW OVER ID BEGINS TO TURN TO THE SW. AS THE TROF CONTINUES TO DIG
OVER THE WESTERN US...A SFC LOW DEVELOPS FRI OVER NV AND IS MOVES TO
THE SE CORNER OF ID BY SAT MORNING. PRECIP WILL OVERSPREAD THE FCST
AREA ON FRI...AND WRAP AROUND MOISTURE WITH THE SFC LOW WILL KEEP
PRECIP CHANCES HIGH THRU SATURDAY. MOST PRECIP WILL BE SNOW...EXCEPT
MAY BE MIXED WITH RAIN FRI AND SAT AFTN IN THE LOWER ELEVATIONS.
THIS MAJOR TROF DOMINATES THE ENTIRE WEST THRU THE WEEKEND...AND
WILL RESULT IN COLDER TEMPS BY SUNDAY. HEDGES

&&

.AVIATION...LIGHT SNOW AT KBYI AND KPIH WILL COME TO AN END EARLY
THIS MORNING...WITH LOW VFR CIGS LINGERING UNTIL LATE MORNING. VFR
CONDITIONS WILL DOMINATE THRU TONIGHT...ALTHOUGH SOME LOW CLDS MAY
FORM LATE TONIGHT IN THE UPPER SNAKE RIVER PLAIN.

STRONG SW WINDS WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EVE HOURS THRU THE SNAKE
RIVER PLAIN. THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL BE THIS AFTN. BREEZY
CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THRU TONIGHT...WHICH SHOULD MINIMIZE
CHANCES FOR FOG. HEDGES
